Warnings
43A6941B
Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclama-
tion point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When
these symbols appear in the body of this manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific
hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be
aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.
• Ground all equipment in the work area.
• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Use only grounded hoses.
•Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock.Do not use equipment until
you identify and correct the problem.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This
may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical
treatment.
• Do not point dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the fluid outlet.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing and before cleaning, checking, or
servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

Warnings
3A6941B 5
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system com-
ponent. See in all equipment manuals.
• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See in all equipment man-
uals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material,
request Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from distributor or retailer.
• Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in use.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manu-
facturer’s replacement parts only.
• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and create
safety hazards.
• Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.
• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
• Keep children and animals away from work area.
• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch, cut or amputate fingers and other body parts.
• Keep clear of moving parts.
• Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
• Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure and disconnect all power sources.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury, including
eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. Protective equipment includes but is not
limited to:
• Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.
• Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.

Installation
Grounding
To ground the pump: remove the ground screw (Z)
located on the back of the gear box and insert it through
the eye of the ring terminal (W) at end of ground wire
(Y). Fasten the ground screw (Z) back onto the pump
and tighten securely. Connect the other end of the
ground wire (Y) to a true earth ground (FIG. 1). To order
a ground and wire clamp, order Part 222011.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you see this symbol.
To relieve pressure in the system, use two wrenches
working in opposite directions on the pump outlet fitting
to slowly loosen the fitting only until no more lubricant or
air is leaking from the fitting (FIG. 2).
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
FIG. 1
Z
W
Y
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from
pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing
fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure when you stop dispensing and before
cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.

Fuses
Mounting
Note: Upper case letters used in the following
instructions refer to Typical Installation: Series
Parallel System (FIG. 4), Typical Installation: Series
Progressive System (FIG. 5), Typical Wiring: Series
Parallel Systems (FIG. 6), and Component
Identification (FIG. 7) diagrams starting on page 9.
Securely mount and ground the unit before operation.
1. Mount the tank (K) on a sturdy, flat surface with
user-provided bolts. Install so that the fill port (F)
and the lubricant outlet connection (P or AC) are
easily accessible after installation.
2. Connect the controller (F) (if used).
3. Connect a high pressure lubricant supply line (D) to
the lubricant outlet connection (P or AC).
4. Connect all electrical connections. See Typical Wir-
ing: Series Parallel Systems diagram, page 11.
5. Ground the system. See Grounding instructions,
page 6.
Pump
The pump provides lubricant flow and pressure to oper-
ate an automatic lubrication system.
Series Parallel System
The pump requires an electrical power supply and a
timed signal from a lubrication controller (F). The pump
provides lubricant flow and pressure to operate the
injectors (E), and vents the injector system to reset the
injectors.
Series Progressive System
The pump requires an electrical power supply and a
timed signal from a lubrication controller (F). The pump
provides lubrication flow and pressure to operate
metering devices (AD).
Inlet and Outlet Components
Vent Valve
The vent valve (L) reduces system pressure in Series
Parallel system and resets the injectors.
NOTICE
Fuses (user supplied) are required on all models. To
avoid equipment damage:
• Never operate the pump without a fuse installed.
• A fuse of the correct voltage and amperage must
be installed in line with the power entry to the sys-
tem. Graco recommends using a 10A time delay
fuse.
LIFTING HAZARD
This equipment is heavy. Lifting or moving heavy
equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury such
as muscle strain or back injuries. To avoid injury:
• Do not lift or move this equipment without assis-
tance.
• Always use a lifting device secured to the pump
when moving or installing this equipment. See
Notes:, page 49 for pump weight.
The breather (J) vents the tank to the atmosphere. If it
is plugged the tank will over-pressurize and rupture.
Be sure the breather is not plugged before filling the
pump.
COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD
The maximum working pressure of the inlet and outlet
components in the system vary. Over-pressurizing an
inlet or outlet can cause components to rupture, seri-
ous injury such as skin injection or injury from splash-
ing fluid. To reduce the risk of component rupture:
• Be sure to know the maximum working pressure of
each inlet and outlet component in the system.
•Never exceed the maximum working pressure of
the inlet and outlet components.

Installation
83A6941B
Pressure Relief Valve
The pump design includes a self-contained pressure
relief valve (N). When needed, the valve relieves
pressure back into the pump tank (K).
Motor Details
The pump (B) is driven by a 24 V DC brushless motor
(1) with a built-in controller. The motor LED flashes
multiple times during start up and stays on during
operation. Refer to Troubleshooting, page 38 for more
information.
